We talked about an event full of exciting vitality, promoting the theater itself, the creation and entertainment of the public, making Las Torres de Cotillas a city that symbolizes that culture that creeps and likes in all segments of age, taste and sensitivity of the population.

This event, with the support of the immortal TEJUBA commanded by the tireless and master teacher Joaquín Cantero, from the most veteran amateur stage group in Spain, carries a decided message of endurance, such as building a sublime space that, in addition to combining life and theater, accumulates, treasures another virtue: the exchange experience that it implies for the local and host company and for the visiting companies to share a few days of exchange of experiences, advice and interaction coexistence, of renovating approaches of the amateur theatrical world.

For the eighth time, the renewed expectation is to have at hand a varied and rich category theater menu for which the curtain of the "Pedro Serna" House of Culture of Las Torres de Cotillas will be raised for four suggestive Saturdays in October and another from November.
